Hartenberg Cabernet Sauvignon

Sophisticated Stellenbosch Cabernet, full of plump black fruits.

Coming from the iconic wine region of Stellenbosch, South Africa, Hartenberg are a family-owned winery offering beautifully crafted wines with regenerative viticulture at the forefront. They have become the first wine farm in South Africa – and only the second in the world – to achieve regenerative verification under the Ecological Outcome Verification (EOV) framework.

Hartenberg Cabernet Sauvignon has dark and heady aromas of violets, blackcurrants, and liquorice. On the palate, the wine reveals its plush and luscious texture, delivering striking and intense flavours of black plums and mulberries, accompanied by a smokiness that comes from the 18 months in French oak (50% new).

Drinking well now, with its remarkable structure and balance, this will only get better over time.

Syrah/Shiraz

Syrah/Shiraz

A rich, powerful, and sometimes meaty red wine that originated in the Rhône Valley of France. Syrah is the most planted grape of Australia, where they call it Shiraz, and the Barossa Valley is home to some of the oldest Syrah vines.

Syrah is responsible for some of the darkest full-bodied red wines in the world, and it has dark fruit flavours that go from sweet blueberry to savoury black olive. Grown across the globe, it can be used as a single variety or as part of a blend.

Old World Syrahs from Italy and France tend to have more acidity and earthy-herbaceous aromas. New World-styled Syrah wines from Australia, The U.S. and South America usually have more fruit-driven characteristics with lots of spice. 

Some of the most famous (and most expensive) Syrah is from the 340+ acre Northern Rhône appellation called Hermitage. Elsewhere in the Rhône, you'll mostly find it blended with Grenache and Mourvèdre (GSM Blend).
